That loss is our gain NEWS BUREAU: One hundred thousand dollars worth of new and modern electronic equipment for $1,400. That's the bargain the Electrical Automation Division of Utah Technical College at Provo recently got from the government at Tooele Army Depot, according to Division Chairman, Wells; but it's real worth, he emphasized, is what it can do for Utah Tech students. The new equipment consists of 14 new motor control centers, obtained new from Tooele when the program for which they were intended apparently never developed, Mr. Wells said. Worth $100,000, Utah Tech obtained them as surplus for one percent of their value. Extra incidental costs made it about $1,400 the school paid for them. The 14 ' new unites will be added to two similar ones obtained about four years ago, said Mr. Wells, and will greatly expand the facilities for training in this field at the college.

They control motors speed, reversal and in other ways used in industry, from steel mills to much smaller plants. And possession of them by Utah Tech will allow the college to simulate conditions in industry for its students, giving them the same experiences they would have as electrical motor control and maintenance men on the job. They will be used by second-year electrical automation students, Mr. Wells said, to train maintenance electricians for work in industry. Utah Tech this year has 130 students in its electrical automation division, 80 first-year and 50 second-year. Twelve years ago it had two. Last year the division had 43 graduates, of which 40 are now working in industry at excellent pay, said Mr. Wells. They have jobs with firms like Peabody Coal Company in Arizona, a huge strip-mining operation, and the FMC Company in Wyoming, engaged in Trona mining. The graduates are maintaining and repairing the electrical machinery that runs huge shovels, mills, conveyor belts, and other equipment. Twelve years ago the division had a faculty of two, Mr. Wells and Mr. Rex Losee. Today those two are still there, but have been joined by four more, KenFoster, Jay Bennion, RamanWatkins, and Larey Lawrence. In two out of the last three years, Utah Tech at Provo electrical automation students have won first place honors in this category in the national skills contests sponsored by VIC A (Vocational Industrial Clubs of America). NEWS BUREAU: Utah Technical College at Provo will seek two appropriations plus architects services for needed improvements and planning on its new Orem campus in addition to the $8 million already available, according to C. LaVar Rockwood, Utah Tech planning coordinator for the new development.In addition tc the three buildings already authorized by the state building board to be constructed with the available $8 million, the school will seek from the next legislature $911,000 for campus roads, parking and lighting in connection with the three buildings, he said. Also, the college will ask for $75,000 from the legislature to construct a much-needed frontage road be-, tween the campus and the freeway which will replace the existing Sandhill Road through the campus which Orem City has agreed to close. In addition, said Mr. Rock-wood, architectural planning will be requested for a new student center to be constructed with student fees and revenues because legislative funds cannot be used for this structureand for a new technology building which will be sought later as another phase of campus construction. Bids are now being sought for a business building and auto Pall enrollment up NEWS BUREAU: Utah Tech nical College at Provo made an enrollment gain of 13.7 percent this year over last, according to final fall quarter enrollment figures just released by President Wilson W. Sorenson. Total students attending Utah Tech this year, day and evening, reach 3,138, compared to 2,760 last fall quarter, President Sor-ensen said. This is the first time, he noted, that regular stu-dentbody enrollment, exclusive of special programs, has passed the 3,000 mark. r V. REX LOSSEE checks new automation equipment. The equipment Army Depot. seetioong O motive trades building, plus a heating plant, already authorized by the building board for which funds are available from $8 million already appropriated by the legislature, said Mr. Rock-wood. The business and automotive structures were given priority because facilities for these studies are being housed in temporary trailers on the Provo campus plus rented off-campus buildings. Roads within the campus itself are necessary for any development, said Mr. Rockwood, plus parking facilities and lighting. Also, furnishings will be needed for the automotive and business buildings, which the available appropriation will not cover. It is for these thingsunder the heading of site development and furnishings--that the $911,000 is needed and will be sought from the next legislature. The $75,000 also to be sought will provide Orem City with an alternate route for its closed Sandhill Road through the campus a frontage road between the campus and the freeway from 8th to 12th South. Mr. Rockwood said the proposed student center will house a bookstore, cafeteria, and other student services and must be constructed with student fees and revenues which will come from these services. To get the ini The trend was in line with the past half dozen years in which Utah Tech has shown a substantial enrollment increase every year, said the president. Most of the increase this year came in the evening school 1,196 compared with 850 last year. The day school also noted an increase of 1942 students this fall as against 1910 last year. In addition to the regularly enrolled day and evening student-body of 3,138 this year, the college is also serving nearly 250 more in soecial programs, said ffdaondls tial amount needed it will be necessary to bond--for perhaps $1.5 million, he said, and the bonds will be retired from the student fees and revenues. The college already has $500,000 in a reserve student fee fund toward the student center. A federal grant has been secured for debt service of the bond issue, said Mr. Rockwood, to pay interest on the bonds before they are retired.The technology buildings, for which architectural planning will be sought, will cost an estimated $3,750,000, stated the planning coordinator. Funds for this will be sought from the legislature as a second phase of campus construction at some later date. The technology building will house drafting, electrical and automation, air conditioning and refrigeration, and related subjects. The 185-acre Orem campus, purchased years ago by the state in anticipation of the need for expanded facilities for the cTJT1 lege, is located north of Ore m's 12th South and east of 1-15.
